As friend and stand-up comedian Jimmy Gunn once said to me: If I could describe myself in one word… if I, in a single word, could sum up the whole of my personality, my being, my raison d’etre… that single word would have to be: “Can’t follow directions.”
I heard you are designing a web site for “Sadie’s Designer Cakes & Pastries” in Quincy, MA. Are you going to post it on your site, also will you be using the same tricks you have used here?
You’re worth a whole lot more than me! Good post; I have long pondered on the fact that human life can be measured in money. If you really think about it, it’s pretty crazy, but it’s true.
